"Don't smile like that...

...if it's not because of me."

========================================

LUHAN

"Hey, where have you been, dude?"

Chen taps my shoulder but I chose to ignore him.

"What's wrong with him?"

I heard Chen ask Lay who's sitting next to him.

After calming down, I decided to go back to our room.

"Hyung, are you okay." –Tao

I only hummed. They didn't bother me anymore after that.

After a few minutes, Kris came in. I guess he came from the restroom.

"Hey, follow me."

I looked at him and he's staring down directly at me.

I furrowed my brows but didn't ask and just followed him.

The others were about to stand up but I stopped them.

My confusion was added when we walked to our place.

We entered the building and sat on the couch facing each other.

"Something important that we need to skip classes?"

He just looked at me.

"Dude, don't creep me out."

"Luhan, this may sound awful to you but I think you should let Xiumin leave EXO-M and-"

"What? What the fuck are you saying?!"

I couldn't hide the anger in my voice.

"That's what I'm talking about, Luhan. You have a very short temper. Chunji can handle him better."

I stood up and grabbed his collar. He maybe is taller but I'm not short either.

"Are you saying Chunji is better than me? I can take care of Xiumin way better. I got him first in EXO so I won't be just giving him away to Teen Top!"

He held my wrists and forcefully remove my hands on his collar and smirked.

"He got you."

"What?"

"You like him, don't you?"

I looked at him then swallowed hard.

Do I like him?

Do I like Xiumin that way?

"You do. And the person you're thinking right now is not Chunji, right?"

I looked at him. He chuckled.

I sat back down.

"I heard you awhile ago back to the rooftop. I was about to sleep there when I heard you."

"What did you hear?"

"Everything."

"Keep it yourself."

"Make a move before you lose him."

"Shut up!"

He just laughed at me but to be honest, I feel threatened every time I remember him smiling with Chunji like that.

"I don't know what to do."

I looked at Kris looking back at me.

"You know what to do. Don't be a coward."

I held my breathing.

He's right. I know what to do but I don't know how to start it without feeling afraid.

I felt Kris' tap on my shoulder before leaving me alone in the building.

I made my decisions.

I can miss my classes now. I can ditch them.

But not him.

XIUMIN

The day went too fast.

It's time to go home. I'm actually excited to go home today.

First, appa said he will call me via skype later this evening.

Second, grandma will be preparing more food since it's her birthday. I wanted to go home early so I can help her and celebrate her bday together.

I got out of the room first and took my notes quickly in my locker.

I was walking out to the school gate when someone suddenly held my wrist tightly and pulled me to the parking lot.

"Wait! Wait! What-"

"Get in."

I looked at him confused.

"I said get in or do you want me to push you in?"

I snatched my wrist back and glared at him.

I turn around and started walking away from him and his car.

"Aaah! Put me down! Luhan! Put me down!"

He didn't listen and continued walking while carrying me on his shoulder.

He finally put me down but caged me in between his car door and arms.

"Now, get in before I do something."

"No."

I stubbornly answered.

Why would this guy suddenly drag me here and force me to?

"Get. In."

He abruptly leaned closer that I automatically placed my hands on his chest to push him.

GULP.

My heart's beating is racing again.

"I...I will get i-in now...o-okay."

Damn. I stuttered.

"Good."

He stated seriously.

I sat on the passenger's seat and flinched when he slammed the door shut.

He jogged to the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Can you close the door more gently next time?"

He ignored and started driving out of the school.

That's when I remembered grandma's birthday. I haven't bought any gift for her.

"Wait. Stop there. I just need to buy something."

"What is it?"

"Just stop the car."

He parked his car and I quickly got out of his car. I didn't notice he followed me until he spoke.

"Are you buying something?"

"Eung~"

I entered the first shop. Clothes.

"This is women's..."

Luhan obviously confused said.

"I know. Shut up and let me find the best clothes here."

"Don't tell me you'll buy them."

"Of course I will that's why I'm here."

I continued looking around but stopped when Luhan keeps quiet.

I looked at him and he's blinking his eyes while staring at me from head to toe.

Oh, God. This idiot!

"It's not for me! It's for grandma's birthday today!"

I screamed a bit.

I saw him sigh like in relief.

"What? Were you thinking I'm buying clothes for myself?!

I asked in disbelief.

He smiled sheepishly.

I shook my head and faced the clothing rack checking on some dresses.

I suddenly felt hot behind my back particularly my nape. I felt Luhan's arms on my waist.

I stiffened and don't know how to react.

"I don't mind you cross-dressing, though."

The second thing he did was something that made me shiver.

He bit my earlobe and gave it a lick before leaving me frozen.

I held my now warm ear and turned around to look at him but he was already busy looking at some dresses.

This pervert! How could he do that in public?!

I looked around to see if someone saw us. Some of the salesladies were smiling at me but quickly averted their eyes when I looked at them.

I walked out of the shop to avoid them and Luhan.

I entered another shop. Wristwatches.

I was busy looking for a perfect watch for grandma and I didn't notice Luhan entered the shop.

"Hey, why'd you just leave me there?"

He asks obviously in a teasing tone.

I rolled my eyes and pointed at silver wristwatch to the saleslady.

"How old is grandma?"

He asks while we were waiting for my gift to be wrapped.

Oh no. I forgot to ask her.

"Aish, quickly call her now and ask."

I didn't bother arguing with him and dialed my landline at home.

After 3 rings, she answered.

"So, how old is grandma now?"

"63. She said she's 63 now."

He nodded. Just then, I noticed he's carrying a bag.

"What's that for?"

"Oh, this? Dress for grandma since you forgot to buy one and left me there awhile ago."

He smirks again.

Ugh! That smirk! I really wanna wipe that off of his face.

"Here you go, sir. Thank you for buying."

The saleslady gave me the box and we left the shop.

I checked my phone, it's near 6 PM already.

"Come on! We're late!"

I unconsciously grabbed Luhan's hand and started running.

Luhan stopped out of the blue making me stumble a bit back.

He was smiling a little while looking down.

I looked down and saw our hands clasped together.

Oh no!

I quickly removed my hand but the warmth of his hand was again felt when he grabbed and held my hand tighter this time.

He looked at me and...smiled.

He smiled. The smile that I can say is genuine.

"Come on. Let's get something before going home."

I let him drag me somewhere.

My heart. It's beating fast again.

We stopped in front of a pastry shop.

"We can't miss a cake on grandma's birthday, right?"

He smiled wider this time.

I smiled back at him. I'm feeling so much happier seeing him smile like that.

After buying the cake, Luhan drove off to home. He parked the car outside my apartment.

Luhan follows behind me with the gifts in his hands.

I brought the keys out from my pocket and was about to unlock the door when someone opened it.

"Happy birth-"

I stopped and looked at the person in front of me.

"Yah, Xiumin! Can you move faster? The cake is kinda...heavy."

Luhan stopped his tracks as well when he saw the guy in front.

"Are you just gonna stand there, Xiumin?"

"A-appa!"

================================

OMG

Should I do something funny or serious when Luhan meets Heechul?

Hahahahaha

I'm going crazy but boy, Luhan meets Xiumin's father. *wiggle eyebrows*
